Statement of Accounts 65 1 INTRODUCTION The Academy was founded in 1934 by Sir C.V. Raman with the main objective of promoting the progress and upholding the cause of science (both pure and applied). It was registered as a Society under the Societies Registration Act on 24 April 1934. The Academy commenced functioning with 65 Fellows and the formal inauguration took place on 31 July 1934 at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. On the afternoon of that day its first general meeting of Fellows was held during which Sir C.V. Raman was elected its President and the draft constitution of the Academy was approved and adopted. The first issue of the Academy Proceedings was published in July 1934. The present report covering the period from April 2009 to March 2010 represents the seventy-sixth year of the Academy. 2 COUNCIL There were two statutory meetings of the Council on 4 July and 11–12 December 2009.

    Plant Hsp100 Family with Special Reference to Rice

    Plant HsplO0 family with special reference to rice SNEH LATA SINGLA, ASHWANI PAREEK and ANIL GROVER* Department of Plant Molecular Biology, University of Delhi South Campus, Benito J~arez Road, Dhaula Kuan, New Delhi 110 021, India *Corresponding author (Fax, 91-11-6886427; Emait, [email protected]). Heat shock proteins (Hsps) represent a group of specific proteins which are synthesized primarily in response to heat shock in almost all biological systems. Members of Hspl00 family have been directly implicated in induction of thermotolerance in microbial and animal cells. Yeast cells harbouring defective hspl04 gene do not show thermoto]erance under conditions in which the normal cells do. Several plant species have been shown to synthesize Hsps in the range of 100 kDa. Rice Hspl04 (OsHspl04) is rapidly and predominantly accumulated in heat-shocked cells. Western blotting anaIysis show that anti rice Hspt04 antibodies (generated against purified Hspl04 protein from cultivated rice Oryza sativa L.) cross-react with the same-sized high temperature inducible protein in 15 different wild rices. It was further found that anti rice Hspl04 antibodies also cross-react with a major high temperature regulated protein of Escherichia coll. We have previously shown that a 110 kDa stress regulated protein in rice (OsHspll0) is immunologicalIy related to yeast Hspl04 protein. In this paper, we present a comparative account of characteristics of the OsHspl04 and OsHspI10 proteins. l. Introduction ture response of rice in molecular terms (Khush and Toenniessen 1991). Rice is a major crop for the southeast Asian countries. Different living systems respond differentially to Abiotic stresses such as high and low temperatures, increased temperatures.

Standard Model and motivation for supersymmetry Supersymmetry, as a generalized spacetime invariance under which fermions and bosons Hailstorm into each other, is undoubtedly a beautiful idea. But why should particle physicists look for it—especially at or slightly above the weak scale? The answer is that solily broken supersymmetry with an intra-supermultiplet mass breaking < 0 (TeV) can ujic the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics of a serious theoretical deficiency, viz. the ladiative instability of the Higgs mass. Before I elaborate on the last point, let me first briefly review the impressive experimental successes 11] that SM has had—if only to underscore the absence of any phenomenological need at present to go beyond it. Table 1 below contains a "pull-plot”. Various measurables (on the Z-peak) of the standard electroweak theory have been listed in ihe first column. The second column contains the measured values (combining SLD and I-hP numbers) with la errors. The "pull", defined as the deviation (with sign) of the central ^iluc from the theoretical prediction divided by the laerror in the measurement, is given in the third column.

    Event Shape Discrimination of Supersymmetry from Large Extra Dimensions at a Linear Collider

    Physics Letters B 634 (2006) 295–301 www.elsevier.com/locate/physletb Event shape discrimination of supersymmetry from large extra dimensions at a linear collider Partha Konar ∗,1, Probir Roy Department of Theoretical Physics, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Homi Bhabha Road, Mumbai 400 005, India Received 20 October 2005; received in revised form 12 January 2006; accepted 13 January 2006 Available online 3 February 2006 Editor: T. Yanagida Abstract The production of a charged lepton ( = e,μ) pair with a large missing energy at a linear collider is discussed as a means of distinguishing the minimal supersymmetry (MSSM) scenario from that with large extra dimensions (ADD) for parameter ranges where the total cross-sections are comparable for both. Analyses in terms of event shape variables, specifically sphericity and thrust, are shown to enable a clear discrimination in this regard. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

As usual, 2003-2004 was an academically productive year in terms of scientific publications and scientific meetings. The Institute conducted the “Fifth SERC School on the Physics of Disordered Systems”; a two day meeting on “Operator Algebras” and the “third IMSc Update Meeting: Automata and Verification”. The Institute co-sponsored the conference on “Geometry Inspired by Physics”; the “Confer- ence in Analytic Number Theory”; the fifth “International Conference on General Relativity and Cosmology” held at Cochin and the discussion meeting on “Field-theoretic aspects of gravity-IV” held at Pelling, Sikkim. The Institute faculty participated in full strength in the AMS conference in Bangalore. The NBHM Nurture Programme, The Subhashis Nag Memorial Lecture and The Institute Seminar Week have become an annual feature. This year’s Nag Memorial Lecture was delivered by Prof. Ashoke Sen from the Harish-Chandra Research Institute, Allahabad. The Institute has also participated in several national and international collaborative projects: the project on “Automata and concurrency: Syntactic methods for verification”, the joint project of IMSc, C-DAC and DST to bring out CD-ROMS on “The life and works of Srini- vasa Ramanujan”, the Xth plan project “Indian Lattice Gauge Theory Initiative (ILGTI)”, the “India-based neutrino observatory” project, the DRDO project on “Novel materials for applications in molecular electronics and energy storage devices” the DFG-INSA project on “The spectral theory of Schr¨odinger operators”, and the Indo-US project on “Studies in quantum statistics”.

    The Institute of Mathematical Sciences Annual Report & Audited Statement of Accounts 1 March 2019- April 2020 The Institute of Mathematical Sciences Chennai Annual Report and Audited Statement of Accounts April 2019 - March 2020 Telephone: +91-44-2254 3100, 2254 1856 Website: https://www.imsc.res.in/ Fax: +91-44-2254 1586 DID No.: +91-44-2254 3xxx(xxx=extension) 2 Director’s Note Director’s Note I am happy to present the annual report of the Institute for 2019-2020 and put forth the distinctive achievements of its members during the year along with a perspective for the future. During the period April 2019 - March 2020, there were 144 students pursuing their PhD and 42 scholars pursuing their post-doctoral programme at IMSc. Spread through this period, the Institute organized or co-sponsored several workshops and conferences. The First IMSc discussion meeting on extreme QCD matter held during September 16 - 21, 2019 brought together senior scientists to deliver a set of pedagogic lectures on the current state-of-the-art, open problems and challenges in the area of hot and dense QCD matter. The annual meeting of the International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA) was organized during June 10 - 21, 2019 by its Indian arm, of which IMSc is a part. An NCM sponsored workshop on Combinatorial Models for Representation Theory was organised in IMSc during November 4 - 16, 2019 and saw active participation from Ph.D students and postdocs from across the country. An ACM-India Summer School on Graphs and Graph Algorithms and a meeting on Recent Trends in Algorithms were both organised during the year.
